Congrats. Very nice.

What I'm wondering is how big is your garage? I can't imagine making any of these cars park outside.

That is just so wrong. You gotta share the Lexus love with us CL members.

When I grow up, I want to be like you. Love your selection of cars.

wow! Nice collection. I don't remember the IS having a light blue colour (not Glacier Frost). Is that a new colour? What's the name?

Well... 860whp / .80 (conservative estimate of 20% drive train loss through the automatic with stall) = 1075 crank HP
minus 380 for LS460
minus 339 for GS450h
minus 306 for IS350
leaves +50 for the Supra.
Did I miss a vehicle?

He probably has a 100 HP Toro side discharge lawnmower with a 25 shot NOS system.

The front seat moves completely forward and then raises up, tilting forward.
I finally got to see the LS460L in person when I got to a dealership at lunch, & to my delight, they have a LS460L with the executive package there for demo.

I spent only about 20 minutes there, but one of the first things I thought of is to try the reclining seat/ottoman of the executive seat.

I am just under 5'11", & yet, the front seat has to be all the way forward for my legs to get completely outstretched, & my shoes would be touching the back of the front seat (which is still covered in plastic, or they would have dirty the cashmere leather.)
In this position, there is no way to fit anybody in the front passenger seat, & it's better to have the shoes off. I think this executive seat is really not designed for anybody over 5'9" or 5'10" with it fully extended for it's intended purpose.
Getting this executive seat option is only beneficial for an average size person & most ladies. I think my mother would love it though, she's barely over 5 feet tall.

That's a very nice and classy collection of cars.

All seem very new, I am curious to know what you had before these cars?

What is the color of your IS? It is either the pic or I have not seen that color before. It vaguely looks like the silvery blue color.....

Thanks for confirming what I suspected and stated before. Sub-optimal for anyone 6' or over.

So you have an LS, a GS450h, an IS350 and a Supra, and you've owned 28 cars since 1997? Why 3 sedans first of all, and are you a car auctioneer or work for or own a car dealership?

Nice line-up though!!!!
